Resumo: | Objective: to know the insertion and permanence of sex workers in the profession. Methodology: this is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, which was carried out with ten sex workers in 2015, through semi-structured interviews, participant observation and field diary, in the city of Pelotas-RS. The data obtained were grouped and analyzed using Minayo's thematic analysis. Results: the participants recognize the activity they perform as a job. They started prostitution due to financial issues, lack of job opportunities, intrafamily violence in childhood and not accepting their bodies. They routinely suffer prejudice, but have support from family members. They use the internet as a way of protection against stigma. Many are willing to leave the profession, yet encounter several obstacles. Conclusion: sex workers suffer from a lack of legal, social, and health care support. There is an urgent need to develop public policies aimed at welcoming and addressing the demands of this portion of the population. |

Metodología: Investigación cualitativa, exploratoria y descriptiva, realizada con diez profesionales del sexo en 2015, mediante entrevista semiestructurada, observación participante y diario de campo, en la ciudad de Pelotas-RS. Los datos obtenidos se agruparon y fueron analizados mediante el análisis temático de Minayo. Resultados: Los participantes reconocen la actividad que realizan como un trabajo. Comenzaron a prostituirse por problemas económicos, falta de oportunidades laborales, violencia intrafamiliar en la infancia y por no aceptar sus cuerpos. Sufren prejuicios de forma rutinaria, pero cuentan con el apoyo de sus familiares. Utilizan Internet como una forma de protegerse contra el estigma. Muchas están dispuestas a dejar la profesión, pero encuentran varios obstáculos. Conclusión: las trabajadoras sexuales sufren de falta de atención legal, social y de salud. Es urgente desarrollar políticas públicas orientadas a acoger y atender las demandas de esta porción de la población.Objetivo: conhecer a inserção e permanência das profissionais do sexo na profissão.
